On the 126, and most likely same on the 123 the rocker lift points are tied into the same structure as the factory lift pads that we all normally use for lifting/jacking.

Here is a shot down the rocker of my one 300SD, you can see the lift point assembly down the far end of the rocker.

On that same 300SD the rear lift point sheet metal had all but disappeared so we had to rebuilt. We used a 1/4" steel plate to re-create the factory lift point and then sheet metal to surround the area. Its not very pretty at all but its very strong.

As you can see the rocker lift point is just above the factory lift point.

I dont really see why you could not use something like that concept device. You would have to make sure that the rod used it overly strong and the welds are very good too.
